Been using Win11 for a while now... It's ok. But I HATE the new menu displayed when right clicking in Explorer. Fortunately, you can get rid of it! elevenforum.com/t/disable-show…

Deprecating #Windows features is a necessary evil. Windows is huge and maintaining it for decades on end is costly for #Microsoft. Still, when things work out you’re someone who found “lesser” features useful it’s annoying to have them ultimately removed. thurrott.com/windows/window…

I have to agree with most of these reasons. When I was an #MVP I heard a lot about paying attention to the users, even saw a lab they brought "average" people into for UI testing, but I just don't feel like they are. #Windows #Microsoft #Windows11 pcmag.com/opinions/windo…

Having graphics problems like a Black Screen in Windows? Have you tried Ctrl+Win+Shift+B? I have, though not with a black screen (don't get those often). Doesn't seem to help my much, but it's an interesting tidbit you should be aware of! windowslatest.com/2023/11/11/win…

A friend and I have been discussing this issue on and off for a couple of years no. I think Chris Hoffman has a decent article highlighting issues and possible resolutions, even if #Microsoft doesn't want to say anything more than their lifecycle page. #Windows11 #Windows

#Microsoft is killing NTLM in Windows 11. It's still a fallback method of authentication but it'll be removed in a future #Windows11 update. bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/…

Looks like this month's updates may cause Hyper-V VM problems: bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft… Additionally, I've heard folks having #Veeam installed may also find issues. #PatchTuesday #Windows #HyperV #Microsoft

#VBScript isn't the most secure, easiest to code, or most efficient scripting language... but I find it works well and I've done a lot of cool things with it... So this makes me sad: bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/… #Microsoft #Windows

How sad. #Microsoft is removing WordPad from Windows. I really wish I could consider this a bigger loss, but it was just so bland, I just cant.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft…

#Windows has a command, SFC, the system file checker. It's often recommended to run to fix odd behavior that might be the result of corruption. %of time SFC finds problems: 50 %of time SFC fixes problems you hoped it would: 0 %of time SFC's fixes ever seem to resolve anything: 0

#Microsoft #Office is updating the default font. Say hello to Aptos as Calibri doesn't make it to it's sweet 16! windowscentral.com/software-apps/… #MSOffice

I have fond memories of the last version of #Windows that was predominantly 32 bit, even though there were 64 bit versions. That meant most folks were using physical servers with 4 GB of RAM (often less than that accessible). neowin.net/news/microsoft…

While I don't advocate running unsupported versions of software, for nostalgic purposes, it can be fun! So I'm happy to direct you to a source for updating your eldest versions of #Windows to something slightly better than the original unpatched version: tomshardware.com/news/windows-u…

Is #Microsoft going to continue with the every other version of #Windows is great (after an initial hesitation?) Because here comes #Windows12 en.softonic.com/articles/we-al…

Looks like SMB Signing may become mandatory in the near future. theregister.com/2023/06/06/mic…

One of my clients has seen issues this week with #Microsoft O365 OWA and I've noticed some issues with Outlook.com's webmail too. Hackers or technical issues? bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft…

Quoting the article sub-headline (because I agree wholeheartedly): "Please, please, please do not actually install XP and use it. But if you must…" arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/0…

Love to see Mouse Without Borders being added to the #Windows #PowerToys bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft… #Microsoft

I applaud the inclusion of 7z, RAR, and gz formats in #Windows11. This is great news and the possibility of additional formats as the article speculates is also great! #Microsoft bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft…
